After a long and restricted benchmark tests, we clearly notice that Tualatin
has very powerful computing capability which is one of the excellent benefits. Because of this,
Intel keep slowing down promotion for Tualatin. If they emphasize too much on the performance of
Tualatin, Tualatin will obscures the performance of Pentium 4 and it will affect sales of Intel's
own chipset. Hence, PC market have not reported too much about Tualatin processors.
Generally speaking, if you run the current Windows softwares, Tualatin processors will show you a
satisfactory performance. However, if you need to run images and video editing softwares for a long
time, you must purchase higher processor clock such as Pentium 4 2GHz or above and you must use the
higher bandwidth RAMBUS memory in order to help executing softwares. Middle end Pentium 4
(1.5GHz~1.8GHz) indeed doesn't outperform Pentium-III Tualatin.
For individual/enterprises, Tualatin can completely meet your demands as it has better overall
performance than mainstream Pentium 4. However, you only need to spend 1/10 of the cost for
purchasing a new system. Upgrading would be the most worthwhile for
individuals/enterprises.
